A chip van near Edenbridge
About our fish and chip van hire in Edenbridge
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will suggest what suits your event. For birthday celebrations and festive get-togethers, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
In and around Edenbridge, homes and village halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. Light matters for evening service: in Edenbridge, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
